But come by anyway!!Today I'm over at Book Binge, hawking my wares, struggling for coherence, and flinging loot to the masses. Please stop by.
::crickets::
Yesterday I had a very exciting thing happen. I had my first pedicure in months and months (omg) and today? I can't stop admiring my toes. So. Cute. A very pale pink. I usually go for the raspberries. Nice change actually. And my feet don't look like horned toads any more.
If you have a moment, TPig has a wonderful review of Long Horns, by icon Victor Banis. If you haven't read Victor, you should.
Flogging the wip today.
And flogging. I wish Tinkerbell would come and throw some pixie dust on this one. It's a right bastard.
PS
What one adjective would you use to describe yourself? I'd use down to earth. Yes. That's a phrase, not an adjective, but I always cheat to win.
Anyway, I'm curious. Leave me a wee note.

I'm often dscribed as 'sensible'. I wish it wasn't true. I've always desperately wanted to be one of those wacky types like Kate Winslet in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". Sadly, I am sensible and always will be. My mental age is 40 and has been since I was about 12.
After tossing a few possibilities away, a ended up with "approachable". I'm usually the one at the party with a person I've never met before telling me the story of their life (or so my husband says.) When we lived on campus (for his live-in university jobs) I usually had a few students adopt me a "aunt" (I refuse to say "mother", since I was only in my 20s and 30s at the time. lol) I actually enjoy it quite a bit. :-)
Jenre~I JUST called a friend sensible. To me, this is a HUGE compliment. And you are that! Hey, what shoes are you wearing right now? (LB hides her daughters bootie slippers in lime green and teal.) I'd also say that you are CLEVER.
Renee~You really are approachable. That's so true!!!
Sigh. I just asked my best friend (who is a guy). Apparently, I'm "sassy". I'm not sure that's a good thing.
Sassy!! Spot on!!! And wasn't that a magazine for a while?
But are you Preppy?
What shoes am I wearing?!!!! Next thing you'll be asking me about my underwear!
I wear sensible trainers because I do a lot of walking. I don't wear heels too much, but I wish I did. I'd love to be one of those women who wear big heels. I covert high heeled shoes and stare longingly at them in shops, knowing I'd never buy them because they just aren't practical. Sigh...
Oh, and thanks for saying you think I'm clever. I'll remember that the next time I'm outwitted by my five year old!
I like heels a few times a year. I have some very high, wobbly ones, but..I do wear my driving mocs (and my pirate of the carribean crocs) most of the time. Those are sensible!
LOL on the five year old. Perhaps the five year old is Sneaky?
But are you Preppy?
Oh yeah. Super preppy. Not
It's a phrase (actually two) more than a word, but I get 'there's no doubt about YOU, Kris' and 'shit stirer' alot with lots of headshaking.
What do you think they mean by that first one??
Hmm...for me I think I'd say "real".
Tinkerbell is a sexy biatch.
AND I love pedicures, but I haven't had one in over two years. These days I hide my toes in Keds and hideous hot pink Crocs.
I've got to go with EARTHY for me.
synonyms: down-to-earth, hardheaded, matter-of-fact, practical, pragmatic
definition: somewhat coarse or crude; unrefined
Hmmmm, that definition sounds a lot like BAWDY too, doesn't it? Gee, is there anyone else around here that fits THAT description? heh. Maybe I should ask if there's anyone around here that bawdy DOESN'T apply to.
:-D
Kris~HAH!! We also call that 'pot stirring' so as not to offend.
JenB~Crocs are a secret shame but DAMN they are comfy. Real? I like it. Very fitting.
Ahhhh BevQB~Yes! Just don't call use the term bawd and it's cool.
although...we do peddle the ab slabs...and the man titty..uh.
*sigh* I'm not only sassy, I'm also geeky. As in, I geek out over stuff. LOTS of stuff.
^o^. LB, that was meant to offend. That explains a lot. ;)
Drey~Geeky is cute!
Kris~Hah! I say 'pot' cuz of the kids.
Other than Tall? LOL!
I get sweet, approachable, nerdy, smart, geeky, tall, um...yeah. So basically I'm a tall, nice geek. he-he
I don't know. Asked the man, apparently luscious. (he was so greasing) sigh, and a touch of the red hair.
Hawking your wares, hehe. Had a bit of an Oliver Twist moment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBby9s9ztns
Long long ago in a far off place I was frequently called 'funny'. Alas, I married and had children. These days *big heavy sigh* I'm stuck with 'maternal'. Although on a daily basis my children call me 'crazy'. What?
Bridget~The first thing out of my mouth when I met Suze Brockmann was "You're so tall." Not..you know...PRAISE AND LOVE...but I'm so short that I was impressed by her height. Yes.::dies:: I'd say "Sweet" applies to Miss Bridget.
Sarah~Luscious! I'm jealous! That's awesome!!! Naughty isn't on the list?
Rosie~You are not funny. You are hilariously, side splittingly funny. And extremely well organized (thank god).
Oh I love heels and have many...don't wear them though. *sigh*
Pedicures - love. them.
Word to describe me? Um, I asked my hubby and he said Complete. Is that not the sweetest thing ever? He's so trying to have sex! lol My word would be: dependable. Isn't that sad? :)
So if we ever meet, you'll be looking up at me then. All righty. I'm used to that. One of my best friends is barely 5 feet. I'm a foot taller than her. Yes, it looks funny when we're standing side by side. he-he
And my word for you would be Awesome. For your humor, your generosity and your overall coolness. :)
That's a phrase, not an adjective, but I always cheat to win.
Have I ever told you, Lbea, how much I like your style?
Tracy~Complete? He's a smoooooth operator. You complete me, Tracy. Merow.
Bridget~Aw.Thanks. Shucks. I'm not THAT short (not trying to offend the short people here).
Miss Dakota~What's your adjective? Other than enthusiastic? And...creative?
Awww, LB, those are nice adjectives...I'll take 'em! *g*
I think I'd go with maybe...quirky? Maybe fun-loving in a pinch.
I asked my bf earlier and he said "goofy" and then when I didn't respond immediately he started to look a little nervous and then blurted out, "predictably unpredictable." Uh...
So clearly he thinks I'm a goofy contradiction.
Ah, romance. *g*
